Certainly take a look at the official Wikipedia and Wiktionary apps on github to see how we've bult them. https://github.com/wikimedia Stop by in #wikimedia-mobile if you need any help. --tomasz On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 11:34 PM, Gregory Varnum gregory.var...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings, As someone involved with Wikimania programming - I'm wondering if there are volunteers interested in developing a Wikimania mobile app. It may not be feasible given the short timeline, but I've seen a number of conference apps coming out over the past week and figured it should at least be pondered. :) Essentially the idea would be to include schedule, local info, maps, etc. Things that can be pulled from the Wikimania 2012 wiki.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Volunteers for Wikimania mobile app?
A full-featured multi-platform app would be pretty shortday now (especially if you want to get it past the app review process on iOS). A nice mobile website would be a better option IMHO. Let me know if you need any help on that. -- Hay On Sat, Jun 2, 2012 at 10:45 AM, Finne Boonen hen...@gmail.com wrote: http://m.fosdem.org/ Is the one that's used by Fosdem which works quite well, and works on most devices. henna On Sat, Jun 2, 2012 at 9:58 AM, Tomasz Finc tf...@wikimedia.org wrote: Certainly take a look at the official Wikipedia and Wiktionary apps on github to see how we've bult them. https://github.com/wikimedia Stop by in #wikimedia-mobile if you need any help. --tomasz On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 11:34 PM, Gregory Varnum gregory.var...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings, As someone involved with Wikimania programming - I'm wondering if there are volunteers interested in developing a Wikimania mobile app. It may not be feasible given the short timeline, but I've seen a number of conference apps coming out over the past week and figured it should at least be pondered. :) Essentially the idea would be to include schedule, local info, maps, etc. Things that can be pulled from the Wikimania 2012 wiki.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Volunteers for Wikimania mobile app?
The good news is that it looks like making the mobile app already means making the wiki more mobile, and specifically PhoneGap, compatible. Going beyond the wiki to a mobile specific site seems unlikely and uncharacteristically duplicative. This would be for multiple platforms, not just iOS, and I'm not too concerned about app approval times. At the very least it will leave WM2013 well positioned. -Greg Sent from my iPhone.
